Prof. Foote, as Col. A g. johnson, Land
Com,nissioner Of the Atelsison, Topeka 4
Santa Fe railroad says, Il well known ~
the largest collector Of minerals In the
world. OF his exhibit q. tbs Worlds Ex-
hibiiion at New ()rlcars, Director Gen'ls
Buske, Buck and ether officials said a.
follows:
I'VE take great pleasure in'stating that
PROF. A. y. Foote, Of Philadelphia, In lsis
own extraordinary display, Ia the large
and complete collection which he illus
trates the mlneralo9y of rennsylvania and
ir the exhibit he makes Of the minerals OF
NORTH Carolina from along tls, line of the
Richmond a. Danville railro,,a, hsis, NO
far a. x'e know. the finest and noM ex.
isnsiye exhibit ever made at any Worlds
Exhibition. His exhibit, almost entirely
ores and crystailized minerals, undcr
glass, covers over 5000 feet Of fioU space.
He h about 10 VISIT Mexico, Arizona, New
Mexico, Cadifornia and either mining re-
giors with view Of increasing this great
collection before exhibiting II In London
at the Americsn Exhibition, next year.
Az Prot. Foote'S display viii be seen BY
all interested In the mineral resources OF
the American Continent il will be 10 the
advantage Of those wishing the develop
m'er,t Of the mining resources di their see-
tions to assist him in making his coilec-
tion a. much a. they conveniently can.
Prof. Foote contributed very largely to the
sticccss OF the Worlds Exhibition, BY
his grand collection Of minerals, and We
cs,mmend him to oil interested In miner
als.n
From the above II win be seen that an
opportunity is offered o,ir section that viii
probably never occur again to show the
investing wcsld what i.s resources are.
Prof. Foote has had more experience
in this work, and is probabably better
qualified than aEy one In the world and
ot5ers TO make this exhibit for mine own
eis without any expense TO them except
Tive contributions Of the specimens. He
eEpects to return this way In about a
month and win attend 10 boxing and
shipping them. Mr. r. y. Dennis, Of the
Ssnpling Works, has consented to take
charge Of such specimens as anyone may
be willing Il, contribute until I'rof. Foote
rs,turns.
Specimens may be contributed In the
tflree following ways:
LIST. Loaned, to be returned AZ soon -
possible after the close of the American
Exhibition.
End. Donated, to be retained by Pruf.
Foo<e for exhibition in bic permanent
collection at ~. Louis, Minneapolis, Chi
cago and other Exposisioas.
3D.. Donated, to be.eshibited at Lon
don, and then 10 be either kept In rrof.
Foote'S permanent exhibition. or used BY
him In making up college, uniyersity OF
other collections.
PrCf. Foote win use these last specimess'y!
80 that they win serve in the best posi-
bic manner TO advertise tile mines from |
which they come. All specimens should |
be very carefully labeled with the name OF
the mines fromwhich they come, and all |
details possible In regard to the vein.
While 1t 10 Of course necessary to chow |
Me- average working ore Of the mine !: is ,,
necessary in order 20 "engnrr attention
70 show specimens that are attractive,
either from their striking richness or
their beauty. This beauty may be due 10
their specialization or the capitalization,
of their associated minerals. In furnish
ing native silver and gold specimens,
pieces that show all the bullion on the
surface are more attractive than those ten
lines as rich where the bullion is scatter.

Remember that within one hours ride
II the American Exhibition grounds are
Ten millions Of the wcalth,est people on
he globe; that London is the financial
md investment centre OF the world; that
Z has been the only place where Worlds
exhibitions have been 20 suecessiui that
hey paid profit; that the attendance
las steadily risen at them until the late
Colonial Exhibition, held in 1886,
vas attended by over six millions Of pec-
pie, and that there is every reason 10 b.
ieve that the American win have oyer
ten.millions.
Then think that we hare but one month
o get this. exhibit ready and go to work
II once 80 that our county may appear
OF what she really Is, The richest and
nest varied in mineral resources In the
'outh west. Besides rich minerals, bring
n any thing Of . crystal character that
'eems curious. Prof. Foote is also espec-
ally. anxious to get any specimens Of
netscSie h,,n. The Exhibition opens
May End. and. closes October 2lst.
